N = 8 Superconformal Chern-Simons Theories (2008)
Journal Article

A Lagrangian description of a maximally supersymmetric conformal field theory in three dimensions was constructed recently by Bagger and Lambert (BL). The BL theory has SO(4) gauge symmetry and contains scalar and spinor fields that transform as 4-ve... Read More about N = 8 Superconformal Chern-Simons Theories.

Studies of the ABJM Theory in a Formulation with Manifest SU(4) R-Symmetry (2008)
Journal Article

We examine the three-dimensional N = 6 superconformal Chern--Simons theory with U(N) X U(N) gauge symmetry, which was recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis, and Maldacena (ABJM). Using a formulation with manifest SU(4) R-symmetry and no... Read More about Studies of the ABJM Theory in a Formulation with Manifest SU(4) R-Symmetry.

Ghost-Free Superconformal Action for Multiple M2-Branes (2008)
Journal Article
Bandres, M. A., Lipstein, A. E., & Schwarz, J. H. (2008). Ghost-Free Superconformal Action for Multiple M2-Branes. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008(07), Article 117. https://doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2008/07/117

The Bagger-Lambert construction of N = 8 superconformal field theories (SCFT) in three dimensions is based on 3-algebras. Three groups of researchers recently realized that an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra can be incorporated by using a suitable L...
